How is that for an understatement? We did not get as much as N.O.A.A. said we would. The total for the storm is now 0.81 inches, which is 0.2 inches less than they said we would have. We have had some wind today. The temperature only reached 53.7°F, the cloud cover did remain at 100% and the relative humidity was 9% over the predicted 83%. I will not deduct for the amount of precipitation, but their score for the day only reached 50%. That makes another "F" for N.O.A.A., for their forecast.

Our Outdoor Wood Boiler Keeps Us Warm
The Weather Underground model forecast map says we will have some rain around until tomorrow morning. N.O.A.A. predicts that the rain will turn to showers by 02:00 hours and we will have 0.38 inches by 02:00 with another 0.01 inches by 08:00 hours. We will have to see about that. The temperature is slated to fall to 43°F overnight, the cloud cover to decrease to 43% and the relative humidity to decline to 78% by 02:00 hours then rebound to 82% by 05:00 hours. This is another intricate forecast.
My Weather Stick points down again, and with the humidity and the weather it is no surprise. All three of the electronic instruments forecast deteriorating barometric pressure. The Min/Max Thermometer and remote weather station are further forecasting rain. The Weather Station Console is forecasting a storm, which is different from just rain. The barometric pressure is approaching a new low of less that 29 in Hg. Right now (21:30 hours) it is 29.07 in Hg and falling. It appears we will continue with the storm system for a bit longer and maybe into tomorrow morning.
